GPU Upgrade , looking for suggestions regarding these choices :)

[Sonny Mircea]

Hello and thanks for taking ur time to read my inquiry
I currently have this setup:

MoBo : Asus m2n68-am se2
CPU : AMD Athlon x2 255 3.1 ghz
Ram : 4GB ddr2
GPU: GeForce 7300 GS (256 mb on 64 bandwidth)

Ok so im looking to make an upgrade to my GPU, my current dilemma is between 2 gpu's (actually 3 but i will describe later)

Option 1 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125675
Option 2 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121799
Option 3 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102908 I could get this for the same money as those 2 stated above, the only downside is that its an used one, about 2 years old, but the owner provides life warranty in case things go south

(u got the specs for the 3 products lower on the page , on the specs tab near the overview one in case u miss it )

Im looking forward for opinions and advices , especially if the Radeon HD 6850 is worth the money over the other 2 even tho it is not new Im also open to other suggestions if u have any in that price range and thanks in advance !


Topic still open , really theres no1 that can provide some insight regarding some of my choices? :/

The 6850 is probably your best bet. I wouldn't look at the other two for gaming at all. I do recommend the AMD r260x or the Nvidia 750ti. They are both powerful enough to run at 1080p. Maybe save up a bit and pick up an EVGA 750ti 2GB?

on the 6850 ideea, is there any downside to it being about 2 years old now ? i mean it has life warranty but im skeptical :/ i wouldnt wanna pay more than 100$ on the gpu so i dont think ur other 2 choices will make it on my list unfortunately, any other ideeas?

I have run an EVGA 640 2GB and it wasn't too bad at 1080p actually. I still use it for testing. Last I saw, it was 86 bucks at Newegg. That is my recommendation too.

You need to find another $4.99 in your max budget. 😉 This is way better than the one's you linked. Like night and day better (well, the HD 6850 is OK, but this card is still better).
